Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y = k*x This is the formula for a direct variation.

y = 20
x = 4 Substitute these values into the direct variation

20 = 4 * k Divide by 4

20/4 = 4k/4

k = 5

Answer: the constant of variation is 5

How does the measure of the pink inscribed angle compare with the measure of the blue intercepted arc? How do you know?

Goryan [66]

Answer:

The pink angle is half the angle subtended by the blue arc.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for circle

Required

Compare the pink angle to the blue arc

Let the pink angle be x and the angle subtended by the blue arc be y.

So, we have:

$x \to$ angle at circumference

$y \to$ angle subtended by arc

The relationship between x and y is:

$y =2x$

Make x the subject

$x = \frac{1}{2}y$
